Easter Sunday was my first time trying this restaurant. loved that the restaurant had options for indoor and outdoor seating. The wait staff were kind and accommodating. I tried the 3-way combo with the ribs, chicken and sausage. The sausage was dry and didn't taste good, so I substituted the sausage for the brisket. The brisket was delicious! I also substituted French fries for cole slaw. They played great music. The waitress would regularly check on me. My meal total was $75. I had a great first time experience. I would definitely come back.

GREAT service, super friendly waitress. She added a lot to our Easter lunch. Great food, though I'm not a fan of garlic and there's lots on the artichoke. Shrimp appetizer was delicious. Fried chicken was a huge hit.

We've been enjoying BarbersQ since it opened in the Whole Foods center, helmed by Steve Barber (now at Farmstead I believe). Now in downtown Napa with a much larger space, the food continues to be a lovely comfort meal. The new chef has upped the taste game; we especially enjoyed the grilled artichoke, grilled asparagus, corn bread and Mac and cheese. I always look forward to our visits.

Loud music prevents conversation without yelling. Asked to turn down the volume. It was turned down slightly but let us know the owner likes the energy of loud blaring music. We were first and only customers for quite awhile. Service was confusing and awkward. Pecan crusted catfish with mashed potatoes was a winner; blackened cod sandwich was extremely highly seasoned not pleasant. Grilled artichoke was very nice smothered in garlic. Giant portion of French Fries were tasty but took up most of plate; slaw was underwhelming. Bar food that was overpriced and gave me indigestion. Won't return.

Everything was good. The food was delicious. Service was excellent. Just the music was too loud. Sometimes you could barely hear the couple sitting next to us.

We were at group of 7 celebrating a birthday. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I had the Pecan Crusted Catfish. It was to die for with mashed potatoes and wilted spinach 😋 I would recommend this place as a must stop for fine dining in Napa.

I had the Tindle chicken sandwich and even though plant-based you would not have known it if you hadn't read it. Our cousins enjoyed it and this was their first time there.

I have to say the service for dinner was unbelievable! Our server Ariana was the sweetest and took care of all our needs. The bussers were very attentive as well. I will definitely be going back with my family on a night that Ariana will be there in hopes we get her as our server again.

My husband and I went here for lunch and it was pretty quiet. We didn't know any better and probably should have came here for dinner instead. The food was VERY filling! For appetizer we had fried pickles and they were the best fried pickles I've had. Sliced perfectly and not too thick. We also got mocktails to drink. Whatever the pink drink (pictured) is was so good! I had the brisket sandwich and he had the fried chicken dinner. Man I wish I would've gotten the fried chicken. It was seasoned so well and those mashed potatoes were so yummy. We substituted the collards for cornbread since we don't eat pork. We thought our waiter was going to bring out a corn bread muffin but instead bought out a mini cast iron of delicious corn bread topped with honey butter. I knocked off a star for my sandwich and mac and cheese it was just okay. Brisket was fatty and not really pulled or tender enough. Mac & cheese wasn't the typical grandma's baked mac & cheese. Overall food was pretty good and our waiter can't remember his name, but he was really nice as well as the lady who was in there as well. Very attentive and very nice people!

Very good fried chicken. The ribs are baby back ribs that are flavored well. Sadly.the mashed potatoes were over salted. Perhaps the chef accidently put too much salt for that particular batch. I will go bacl for the fried chicken alone

It was our first time, so we didn't know what to expect going in, but we were surprised that the food was really good. We'll be back!
Parking: The area can get a bit busy due to other nearby eateries, so you may have to drive around a bit.

This is a great place to eat and relax with family or friends. The barbecue is some of the best I have ever had.
